Tune 2: #113, #326 (Tune 1), #617

 

 1  Lord Jesus Christ, we seek Thy face;

    Within the veil we bow the knee;

    Oh, let Thy glory fill the place,

    And bless us while we wait on Thee.

 

 2  We thank Thee for the precious blood

    That purged our sins and brought us nigh;

    All cleansed and sanctified to God,

    Thy holy name to magnify.

 

 3  Shut in with Thee far, far above

    The restless world that wars below;

    We seek to learn and prove Thy love,

    Thy wisdom and Thy grace to know.

 

 4  The brow that once with thorns was bound,

    Thy hands, Thy side, we fain would see;

    Draw near, Lord Jesus, glory crowned,

    And bless us while we wait on Thee.
